Meaning Of Life

Life is essentially a journey.  Nature provides us with four vehicles to complete this journey.  They include mother, father, Guru and God.  Mother provides the Vehicle, the father provide the petrol, Guru paves the road and God is the driver.  During this journey it is important to cultivate the mentality of a child because whenever there is a childlike sound know that I am present there.

 - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Surrender To God

Only a Guru can rectify your mistakes. Remember that, if you are cruel to others, God will punish you with His sword.  Realise the goal of your life.  No one should be pained with your thought, word or action.  Once you procure a precious stone, try to make it glitter.  (Have a realized life, when God is with us).  If we have sinned we will have to take birth in undesirable environment.  To make life happy, surrender to God.

 - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Will Power

Our bad deeds will result in our pain, today or tomorrow. What we do for our happiness should never be a pain for others.  God will always be with the right deed.  Our goal is to do good. Never should it be otherwise.  You can even tame a tiger if you have the will power.  That was proved by Lord Ayyappa.  What we think is impossible, could be done with sacrifice, service and the right action.  Even the cruelest of all beast could be tamed with our intelligence.

- Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

The Goal Of Our Life

Console the pained.  Provide a mat for one lying on a sack.  You are blessed if you could provide atleast a hut to a homeless.  The goal of my life (Swami's) is to get you the right way of life to liberation.  A society bound on love is in my reach.

                                                                                                - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Human Life

Even a small mosquito can disturb us.  Never our wishes and dreams and problems are fulfilled or erased.  Pray to God for power to harness the desire.  Fate can never be defended, but the severity can be lowered.  An advice could be given only when required.  Sun's rays are not bright at dusk as at dawn.  It varies like that of a human life.  We need to thank God for his gifts.  Instead we look for more comforts.  Such prayers are accepted by God Be generous to the poor.  Offer a share to them.  Never pray for luxury, but for need.

                        - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Bad Deeds and Rebirth

Never allow unrighteousness to creep into our words, deeds and actions.  Such action need 1001 fastings (Vratha) to rectify the sin, for which many births are needed.  We do a lot of mistakes. We are the tenants here and we may need to leave at any time. So be loving always. Only in love, God resides.

                      - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Message of Wisdom

Swami needs love and devotion and not a desire for position.  Try hard to attain this.  Lord Krishna advised Arjuna to destroy the evil and the save the right.  Such an Arjuna is not alone in Mahabharata.  We too have a role of Arjuna.  Follow that.

Religions

All religions are path towards God. Problems arise when each religion has  a staunch belief that what they do is right.  The medicines for the illness of man are all the same. There the religion plays no role, what consoles us in our pain is God.  Religion should be a remedy for the pain, and not a substitute.  When there is comfort and care, there is belief.  Be united; comfort will follow.

The thread of life should be love and not the rituals.  Be united through love.  Each religion should be a path for our journey of life.  A leader in front can lead the rest.  In a thick forest, if one shows the way for the rest, that becomes a narrow path.  When many moves through the way, it becomes a road.  Many by lanes sprout form that path.  We ourselves should have the mind to improve and renunciate.  No one improves with reading of the Gita or the Bible.  Practice what we read.  Take it into your life.  Act according to your consciousness.

Words and Action

Know the omnipotence of God who dewells inside. Have a heart to know others' hunger and serve them.  Some may hurt us with their words; likewise, our words too may hurt others.  So talk carefully; act carefully.  Our mind should be like rain on fire, which wipe away the problems, and not oil to the fire.

                                                        - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Atma and Paramathma

Atma is the energy in the human body and Paramathma is the Divine Energy in the body of the Divine or God.  We should strive hard to attain the Supreme, Paramatma. We are born to reach that goal.  Be generous, serve others and do good deeds with faith in God.  Once we reach our goal, 'maya' or illusion can never harm us.

                                                                               - Satguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Kaliyuga

In this present Kaliyuga, relationships do not play a major role but it stands for selfishness and greed.  Do atleast one seva a day.  Plants fade under the sun and it is grown again.  Just so, human life is like a wheel.  It moves up and comes down. Wherever or whichever state we are, make our character and behaviour pure.  It is the Nature's Law that family relations are hard to be managed.  Liberation is attained to the one who realises the truth that these ups and downs are all His will.

Maintain The Innocence of A Child

Anything  and everything can be taken in by a child and so maintain the innocence of a child.  Becoming a slave to the tensions and crisis can never mould us better. Isn't it easy to engrave butter than a stone?

Realise The Self

Ego is burning of the self.  When we start tasting the tinge of pain, then we can understand the pain of others.  That is a hungry man can know the hunger of another.  We never realise that we ourselves are the reason for our pain.  We suffer according to the deeds of our past births.  Others only play a part of it, we blame others saying "I suffer because of him or her".  It is only a reason.  We search for the reason of our sorrows only after we suffer the pain.  Instead, we should strive for the self-realisation and pray God for that.  This body is gifted to us for doing good.  A competition in our action will only lead towards destruction.

Our Life

God dwells where the sweetness of the honey and the beauty of the rose flower is enjoyed.  Success and failure are the two sides of our own life.  Leave apart the disappointments and march forward with love. There lies the liberation.

Make Our Home An Abode of Lord Krishna

When we feel the tinge of loneliness, God himself is our companion.  Being alone at home, Smt. Usha left the habit of preparing food at home daily.  As a widow her pain was her sole partner.  Once in Darshan she was asked to offer food to Swami daily in her pooja room where she obeys leaving not even a single day. 

                                                                                                                                             -Pearls from the Divine Ocean

Follow The Rituals

When the mind is depressed, the spiritual energy goes down.  So never let it down with the unnecessary  worries.  The knowledge, when misused leads to mistakes.  Moving along the path of life, there are chances to get dirt on us.  Different rituals and fasts are essential to make our mind pure, along with the ablutions of our body. Unwanted should be removed like cruelty, vengeance, hatred, ego etc.
